Good Morning Fitness Pal,

I have been away for far too long. This used to be my safe haven. I would come here and unload about all the pressure to eat crap and how I overcame and ultimately how I would loose the weight.

I remember when I was active on the site and holding myself accountable, the weight melted off!

Then I got confident. Started to enjoy the weightloss and slipped back.......hard.

Went on a fast food binge. Ate what I wanted when I wanted and ballooned up to almost 300 POUNDS!

Now I am on HBP medicine and my doctor is telling me the only way to get off the medicine is to loose the weight.

MyFitness Pal family, please help me change my life once and for all. I appreciate all the support. You can send me request, I accept all that want to join.

Thanks so much,

Zee

    Post your before and "I want to be' pictures on your bathroom wall. get a food scale (amazing how much a difference this makes). Exercise everyday. Even a 20 minute walk is enough to start with. Log everything. Don't lie to yourself. Find the food that you love to eat, so when you lose the weight, you continue to eat them.

    That's a good idea. I think the being honest is that hardest part but in reality, I only cheat myself. I have to remember that.

    Thanks!

    I'm back too - as of tomorrow.

    This site is great. I take full accountability for regaining my weight. I want it back off so back here I get!

    Anyone who wants support and is willing to support me in return, add me. :)

    I just started again myself so I understand. You can do this especially because you've done it before:flowerforyou:

    I'm in a similar boat! I started at 220 and got down to 130 from January to September 2010 and as of last month, when I finally got on a scale again for the first time in ages, and saw it hit 175 I knew it was time to get back in the groove and start logging and paying attention again. The silver lining to starting again is that we know we can do it and it will happen if we stick to it because we've done it before. Then lesson we need to learn this time is that it won't magically stay like that, we have to keep working and paying attention in order to remain fit and healthy. Add me if you'd like, I log daily!

    I'm starting back as well. It's so easy to slip back into old habits and thought patterns. But hey, if this were easy, we all would have reached our goals by now.

    Looking forward to another fresh start and sticking with it this time.

    Cheers to success!

    Girl....I feel you!! I start back as of tomorrow....so you know that means I gotta eat some ice cream or something tonight! lol :laugh: kidding. I'll be alright. But it truly is that mentality before "starting over" again that you just gotta go for that last horrible meal. Not sure why that is, but whatevs. You got my support girl! You've done it before so you can definitely do it again. Train hard and eat clean! You got this! :smile:

    I know ALL about that last meal. It's like your going to your death and you want to eat one last really good (and really bad :laugh: ) meal.

    Thanks for the encouragement!
